It's Benny football baby!

Most running games are not for those who want/demand instant gratification. A grinding running game takes loads of patience. Remember back in the day, The Bus didn't usually start to gain huge chunks of yardage until after the OL had softened up the DL to the point they were ready to go home. That said, this offense is not built for a grinding running game. Our running game is built to make the defense pay when they have too many men in coverage. Just the opposite of stacking the box... Of course I'm not telling you all anything you don't already know, that said, be patient with the running game. Don't give up on it at the first sign of trouble. A balanced offense will be key.
 
Benny is a player of pedigree and shows flashes of goodness and plays with a high motor and things of that nature, obviously.
 
How exactly does the Ravens get their running backs back after positive but Conner's is out. The line has to give whatever running back a place to run for any of them to be successful or confident.
 
The ravens front seven should be a patchwork quilt of mediocrity today... if we cannot run on them we have critical issues
 
Let's hope he says the quality of his work was good. In the last five games, Snell has rushed it 15 times for 30 yards

Snell goes for 104 yards and 2 TDs later today

I hope he catches some TD passes from Claypool and Ju Ju. I need a lot of fantasy points. It would be better for me if Ben caught those TD passes, but you can't have everything.
 
If BENNY can get North & South gain, we will have a running game. I see the passing setting the tone and running finishing it all up.

My one concern with Snell is wrapping up that football. Beyond that, the kid is a horse and doesn't dance sideways. They need to let him run right into holes and stop this sideways run crap.

Reporting that their two Covid babies won't be in the running like it was reported/suggested. So the rats will be without three of their top RBs still.
